Galway midfielder Paul Conroy has been quick to look ahead to his team's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final after yesterday's demolishment of Donegal.

Kevin Walsh's side handed the Tir Chonaill County a 4-17 to 0-14 hammering at Markievicz Park and while Conroy was pleased with the display afterwards he was also setting his sights on the "great challenge" that lies ahead.

"It was great to get the win, we needed it," he told GAA.ie. "We all know how disappointing the Connacht final was and we needed to prove a point that we aren't as bad as we were the last day.

"We didn't show it on the day, but it is nice to get back on the road. Getting to play Kerry in Croke Park is a great challenge, you will see where you are at.

"Definitely, it is going to be a massive challenge, they are one of the top teams in the country along with Dublin and Mayo. It is great to be there, though, you will really see where you are playing the likes of them."

He added: "You have to be motivated after a performance like that (Roscommon), it was a long week, it was a long two weeks actually. We couldn't wait to get out on to the pitch, I think we proved a bit. We will see where we are really at next week."
